It seemed as if God was deliberately going against Zhou Ziqi.
Not long after Fan Hongyu left, it started to rain again after dinner, and it became heavier and heavier. From the evening to the next day, it still had no intention of stopping.
Early the next morning, Zhou Ziqi's car left Luhua Town and drove to the county.
Luhua is a big town with a relatively active economy. Zhou Ziqi's car is the latest Santana he bought, which is very stylish. At least at this stage, Santana is considered a very high-end car in the mainland. The price in the early 1990s was 270,000.
If in later generations, at a comparable price, it would be enough to buy a Mercedes-Benz 600, or even more than enough.
At about eight o'clock, Santana appeared on the campus of Yunhu No. 1 Middle School. Under a certain teaching building of No. 1 Middle School, many cars were parked densely. There were brand-new Santana and old-fashioned military jeeps with khaki canvas roofs.
At the entrance of the teaching building, there was a banner reading "Yunhu County Economic Construction Seminar."
In fact, it was Hong Kong experts who gave big lessons to the cadres in Yunhu.
It is pouring with rain. Such weather is not suitable for experts to go out for research and inspection. It is very suitable to teach everyone indoors.
Class time is scheduled to start at 8:30 am.
Zhou Ziqi was a solid "celebrity" in Yunhu County official circles. Lu Jiu's first correspondent was known to all cadres who were a little older and had certain positions.
In the corridor on the first floor of the teaching building, there are many cadres scattered in twos and threes, holding cigarettes and puffing away there. There is no formal class yet, so these comrades who are heavy smokers will go outside the classroom to have fun first.
A similar class has already been held once. County Magistrate Fan attended the class in person, as well as several other deputy magistrates of the county government. Most people are not so bold to smoke in class. Magistrate Fan took advantage of it.
During recess, I went outside the classroom to smoke.
As soon as Zhou Ziqi walked over, everyone immediately gathered around to greet him, with surprise in their eyes.
Why is he here?
It seems that the last big class was held, there were very few "princes from one side" like Zhou Ziqi participating in it. There were a lot of official-level cadres, most of whom were heads of county-level agencies. In terms of management sequence, the bureaus and committees directly under the county
The government. The government office issued documents and asked them to participate. It is obviously not possible not to attend the lectures. That would be disrespectful to County Magistrate Fan.
Since Xie Houming's defeat, few of the leaders of the county bureau have dared to openly oppose Fan Hongyu.
However, only one or two district and town party committee secretaries came. Most of them appointed the district and town mayors as "representatives." As for Luhua Town, not to mention Zhou Ziqi did not attend, even Lu Minfeng did not show up.
Secretary Lu’s immediate confidants put on a lot of airs.
Through the last big class, many cadres who like to analyze the "political situation" have a rough "definition" of the new county magistrate's prestige in Yunhu - it has surpassed the previous magistrate Cui, but it is not enough to shake Lu.
Jiu’s absolute authority.
At least the former County Magistrate Cui would never dare to make such a big move when he took office for just over a month. It would be a slap in the face.
The heads of the county-level agencies are basically present, and the district and town party committee secretaries are basically absent. This shows that the "local princes" who really hold the power have not yet recognized the authority of County Magistrate Fan. As for those county-level bureaus who have to come
I am afraid that few of the commission leaders are sincere towards Fan Hongyu, they are just forced to have no choice.
Zhou Ziqi nodded to everyone with a smile and asked, "Is County Magistrate Fan here?"
"Not yet. There are still about twenty minutes before class time. County Magistrate Fan will come here with the Hong Kong experts... However, Director Chen is already here and is setting up the class."
A cadre quickly raised his wrist to look at his watch and said.
"Haha, okay, okay, you guys are chatting first, and I'll go up and take a look first... oh, this is quite new..."
Zhou Ziqi laughed loudly and strode upstairs, seemingly telling everyone intentionally or unintentionally: I just came to see something new, not to respond to County Magistrate Fan's call.
No matter what the occasion, Zhou Ziqi never forgets to remind everyone that he is Secretary Lu's person.
Classrooms are located on the second floor.
This teaching building is not a place where fresh graduates from No. 1 Middle School attend classes, but a place where repeat students attend classes. In the early 1990s, "senior senior year" students were a common phenomenon, and every high school had cram schools.
The class does not have the same treatment as a regular class. The classroom is very large and can accommodate more than 100 people attending classes at the same time.
The three-nine days are better, so many people gather in the same classroom, and they can keep each other warm. The dog days are miserable, and it is so hot that people want to peel off their skin. Today, it rained heavily and the temperature dropped sharply, but it was a good solution.
solved the problem of classroom overheating.
Zhou Ziqi strode to the large classroom on the second floor.
The classroom was already crowded, and there were many cadres sitting there, chatting, bragging, and joking with each other. It was as noisy as a vegetable market.
As soon as Zhou Ziqi appeared at the door of the classroom, the noise in the entire classroom dropped sharply and became much quieter. Everyone looked over and some even let out a low exclamation.
This shows Zhou Ziqi’s “prestige” in Yunhu County.
In a sense, Zhou Ziqi is the "First Secretary of Yunhu", which is the same as Fan Hongyu's previous status in the provincial government.
The back rows of the classroom are basically full of people, but the front rows are empty. This is also a long-standing habit of Chinese people. The so-called "golden mean" means that no one wants to attract the limelight.
It should be noted that this is an officialdom. Everyone has a clear mind about who sits in the front row and who can only sit in the back row.
Chen Xia sat in the second seat in the first row after entering the door. There was no one else around her. She was holding a teacup and took a sip of tea from time to time. When she saw Zhou Ziqi, she smiled slightly, raised her hand to say hello, and whispered: "Zhou Ziqi"
Secretary, please sit down here."
When Zhou Ziqi saw Chen Xia, he felt reassured, walked over with a smile, and sat down next to Chen Xia.
The classroom has the same layout as a normal classroom, with a podium and all ten seats in the first row under the stage are empty. There is no doubt that these are seats reserved for county leaders and Hong Kong experts, and other cadres with higher positions.
, sitting in the second and third rows.
In addition to county leaders and Hong Kong experts, Chen Xia, director of the county government office, and Zhou Ziqi, secretary of the Party Committee of Luhua Town, have the highest positions. It is natural that they sit in the second row.
Immediately, a girl brought tea to Secretary Zhou.
There are teacups placed on the podium and on the desks in rows 1, 2, 3 and 4. Cadres sitting in the back row can only go to the corner of the back row of the classroom to get their own tea.
In official circles, there has always been a strict hierarchy.
Chen Xia also suggested to Fan Hongyu that each of the cadres who came to study should be given a bottle of mineral water, which seemed very high-end. In the early 1990s, mineral water was also a new and fashionable thing. Such a small bottle of water was actually sold for
One dollar or two dollars?
Simply luxurious!
Fan Hongyu rejected it without hesitation.
Boil water to make tea yourself, which is cheap and hygienic. Mineral water costs one yuan a bottle, and for more than 100 cadres attending the meeting, it will cost more than one hundred yuan. Yunhu's finances are tight, and everything must be done according to the principle of "diligence and frugality"
.
This is not to say that in such a large Yunhu County, Hong Kong experts can’t even afford a bottle of mineral water when they come to give lectures. Fan Hongyu wants to tell everyone through this action that they are prepared to live a hard life. Since I, Fan, have come to Yunhu,
If you still want to spend money as lavishly as before, you have to ask me, County Magistrate Fan, if I agree.
Fan Hongyu knows very well that if the county magistrate is "stingy", he will be the most hated person, just like the county party committee secretary who always fails to promote cadres.
As the old saying goes, being an official for thousands of miles is just for money.
Blocking people's way of making money and hindering their progress are all deadly enemies.
But Fan Hongyu doesn't care. Fan Hongyu has his own rules on how to govern a county, and they won't be changed easily. Fan Hongyu doesn't want to see that he has spent all his efforts and painstaking efforts to improve Yunhu's economy, but in the end he is just a fat man.
A small group of cadres with real power.
The starting point for economic development must be "common prosperity." Without this premise, everything is nonsense. A prosperous people and a strong country will always be empty talk.
If the country is strong and the nation is prosperous, can we really expect a bunch of moths to fail?
Without this bottom line, if Fan Hongyu had to start over, why would he choose to be an official!
"Secretary Zhou, you came quite early."
Chen Xia smiled and whispered.
Smelling the faint fragrance emanating from Chen Xia's body, Zhou Ziqi couldn't help but feel a surge in his heart. This woman was full of charm, and the charm of a mature woman made people unable to help but be confused and fascinated.
But Zhou Ziqi immediately calmed down.
No matter how charming Chen Xia is, it's not something he can get his hands on unless Zhou Ziqi doesn't want to "hang out" anymore.
"Yes, this is all in accordance with Director Chen's instructions."
Zhou Ziqi smiled softly and lowered his voice before answering.
After being scolded by Lu Jiu yesterday, Zhou Ziqi had no choice but to ask Chen Xia for help and advice. According to Zhou Ziqi's original intention, he hoped that Chen Xia would say a few nice words in front of Lu Jiu so that Zhou Ziqi would not lose his "holy favor".
.Chen Xia reminded him that the key to this matter was not Secretary Lu, but County Magistrate Fan.
Chen Xia told Zhou Ziqi in a very subtle way that at this stage, Secretary Lu had no plans to break up with County Magistrate Fan and have a head-on conflict. Zhou Ziqi contradicted Fan Hongyu, which was tantamount to destroying Secretary Lu's overall plan and forcing Lu Jiu to face Fan Hongyu.
Wrestling.
Zhou Ziqi suddenly understood.
It seems that I have been away from Secretary Lu for a little longer, and I can no longer guess Secretary Lu's true thoughts immediately.
After all, the big sign of Fan Hongyu's former First Secretary of the Provincial Government is there, and it is not for good looks. To deal with Fan Hongyu, it is best to bypass the frontal attack and find another way. Otherwise, Xie Houming will learn from the past.
Or Chen Xia understands Lu Jiu's thoughts better.
Also, are they just hugging each other and blowing pillows? This kind of relationship can never be "imitated" by others.
Chen Xia immediately reminded Zhou Ziqi that there will be another big class tomorrow, and if he has time, he'd better attend.
After all, Fan Hongyu is young and vigorous, and he only cares about face. As long as Zhou Ziqi expresses his "support" to Fan Hongyu in public, County Magistrate Fan's anger may be gone. Then he can come to the door to apologize and admit his mistake, which will have a more effective effect.
good.

Also, let’s talk about the arrears of updates. I’ve been running around everywhere these days, and I basically can’t calm down and type. So in July and early August, I estimate that I’ll have to do my best to maintain normal updates. I still owe 27 chapters, so I’ll try my best to finish them. I will add some in mid-to-late August. If I can finish it, I dare not promise it now. If not, I will add a little more in September. Everyone knows the character of the pie. There is no 100% certainty and I will not make a definite promise. But I have said it before. If you owe more, you will definitely make up for it. This is a promise!
Thank you for your understanding! (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
